6. This is an example of Wisconsin's "Frankenstein Veto".

Apr 20

The voters approved a constitutional amendment a couple of years back which prevents the governor from crafting sentences from parts of two or more sentences and from crafting words by vetoing individual letters. The amendment said nothing about crafting new numbers. The governor wanted to make the school funding increase permanent and so he vetoed a bunch of words and letters until he got the numbers "2", "4", "2" and "5" next to each other.

The Wisconsin supreme Court just ruled 4-3 that this is permissable and if the legislature doesn't like it, they need to pass a new constitutional amendment to fix their oversight.

Let's talk about a veto and school funding until the year 2425.... - Belle of the Ranch [View all] TexasTowelie Apr 20 OP

2425? Four centuries from now? She's needs to re-shoot this video. brush Apr 20 #1

2425 is the accurate year based on what the governor did. nt Gore1FL Apr 20 #2

And what did he do that will matter four centuries from now? brush Apr 20 #3

P{robably nothing as it will likely be reversed by then. In the meantime, the expiration date is set at 2425. nt Gore1FL Apr 20 #4

Hope so as that seems to be an arbitrary expiration date to me that means little. 4 centuries away? brush Apr 20 #5

You can't be choosy if you are exploiting veto language. Gore1FL Apr 21 #7
